Metal enrichment in lithologically complex black shales: a case study from the Tremadocian of NE Estonia

Metal enrichment in lithologically complex black shales: a case study from the Tremadocian of NE Estonia

Significantly elevated U, Mo, Zn and Pb contents characterize the Early Ordovician black shales in the Sillamäe area, NE Estonia. The presence of silty interlayers with sulphidic mineralization and authigenic carbonates suggests unique physicochemical conditions for metal enrichment in this locatio...
